Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup mashed potatoes (preferably made from starchy potatoes)
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon butter (unsalted, for flavor)

  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 2 tablespoons chives (finely chopped, for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for added flavor)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender.

    Use starchy potatoes like Russets for the best texture.

    Stir in the whole grain mustard and butter until fully incorporated.

    Taste and adjust mustard for desired tanginess.
  4. Season the Mixture

    Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using. Mix well.

    Always taste before serving to ensure seasoning is just right.
  5. Serve and Garnish

    Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped chives for garnish.

    Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
